Given her company’s attention-grabbing name and crew of equally compelling dancers, it’s no stretch that artistic director Holly Johnston was named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch in 2008.” Her Ledges and Bones Dance Project offers up three premieres this weekend, including Tracing Echoes, a solo for the mesmerizing guest artist Maria Gillespie. Johnston explores a classical vein of contemporary dance in Ellice, with a sextet performing to the music of Bach, and employs images from lighting designer Johnny Garofolo in Sand and Water to create a landscape of falling sand and rippling water. The dancers are Arletta Anderson, Irin Beneze, Tekla Kostek, Sarri Sanchez, Sarandon Vicent and Kindra Windish.

But hurry ... Crudobar lasts just until May 15
Anatomy of a false confession
A community thrown into shadow and vistas of the Hollywood sign could be destroyed
The more things change . . .
Marta Teegen is turning L.A.'s front lawns into kitchen larders
Also Indecent Acts, I'd Rather Be Right and more
Also, Safe, The Glass Menagerie, and more
Also, Coffee Will Make You Black,
Also, The Importance of Being Earnest, Emergency and more
It's a small world after all
But hurry ... Crudobar lasts just until May 15
